Every now and again you hit on one of those perfect projects that turn out to be exactly what you were looking for. If it's hotter than sin where you are, this brilliant activity is a great way to cool off. Plus, if you can use your freezer without a spotter, you can totally pull this off.
Make a few ice treasures for your kids to excavate this week. I know that freezing some tiny crap in a block of ice doesn't sound like fun to you but I promise that your younger kidlets will love attacking it with toothbrushes and spoons.
Let's Explore blogger Amy hits on a few tricks - like freezing your treasure puck in layers - to make the hunt last longer. Really, tho, anyone can put on of these together with minimal fuss.
You could also liven up your next cocktail party with a couple of these bad boys, come to think of it. Just imagine the adult treasures you could hide in the ice.
